EU says ‘ready to defend’ X fine after US seeks to join Musk appeal
Elon Musk and X, formerly known as Twitter, are challenging the €120 million penalty imposed by Brussels for violating the bloc's online content rules.
The European Commission announced on Friday its readiness to defend the €120 million fine imposed against Elon Musk's X platform, following a request from the US to intervene in Musk's appeal. Musk and X are contesting the penalty for violating the European bloc's online content rules. On Thursday, the US justice department filed an application at the EU's second-highest court, supporting Musk and X's bid to annul the December 2025 decision, marking the first fine issued under the Digital Services Act (DSA).
EU spokesman Thomas Regnier stated that the commission possesses substantial evidence and is prepared to defend its position in court, emphasizing the independence of the judicial process.
